Te Papa has announced the works it purchased from the Les and Milly Paris Collection auction on Wednesday night, including Gordon Walters’
Painting no 7 (1965), Michael Illingworth’s
As Adam and Eve (1965), Brent Wong’s
Mean Time Exposure (1971), and Peter Robinson’s
Boy Am I Scarred Eh (1997).

The purchase of the Robinson of course complements the two works from McCahon's
Scared series that Te Papa has purchased in recent years:
Mondrian's Last Chrysanthemum (1976) and
Scared (1976).
The two McCahons are
currently on show on Level 5 at Te Papa, in a short term exhibition alongside Michael Parekowhai and Jim Allen. The exhibitions end on Sunday; I can't recommend enough that you make a visit part of your weekend. And I can't hope enough that we get to see the Robinson out on the floor soon.
